Topic: Transfer from Army reserve to Naval reserve

[Wilshire Blvd.]

How is it done? I was told it is more complicated than transferring between two Army units. If I have completed Army BMQ and SQ, will I still have to do the Naval reserve BMQ?

While I can't give you an authoritative answer, I would be extremely surprised if you had to do BMQ over again.  BMQ is supposed to be generic across all three elements.  You would come in to the NAVRES as untrained though....and likely be wondering why everyone is talking about "the heads" instead of the bathroom.

It is a tad more complicated because you are changing environments. Land to Sea.  It may also require you to do a Occupational Transfer as well.  Since there aren't any infantrymen in the navy.  If you are a purple trade then that is one less thing to worry about.

I transferred one of my soldiers to an air trade with air reserves within a six week period.  Not all are that quick but they can be.

Go see your orderly room staff.

In addition, I would say that coming from the militia, your BMQ may not be recognized as contrary to the militia, the Taval reserve is training to the reg force standard on BMQ.

On requesting your transfer from the militia, your file will be assessed and an offer will be made to you. A PLAR (Previous learning assessment request will be needed to recognize your BMQ as this one falls under the authority of CDA.

Thanks for the chuckles.
